I made two of these little quilts to donate for auction to the
AAQI........this is the front and back of "Lime Synapse".
Ami Simms is the quilter who developed this charity as a
way to honor her Mom by helping others.

Let's follow the scrap trail.......first I made "Carolina Christmas"
( Bonnie K. Hunter's mystery)
then I made a spiderweb quilt ( a QOV) from the scraps of that quilt........then
from those scraps leftover from the spider web I made "Which Way", a donation
quilt for Alzheimers ( AAQI). FUN :0)

I made this little quilt after seeing this one on the Moda bake shop site,
http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/09/1800s-vintage-quilt-by-sheryl-johnson.html
but also because I had a bunch of 9 patches made that I wanted to use......then I decided to add the autographed blocks that I needed to use in a quilt project. So it all came together this week when I finished binding it! Didn't Debby Brown do a fabulous job quilting this little treasure? I almost hate to give it to my friend Anna........but I will :0)

Just a little fun experimenting with selvedges. I have been sewing selvedges
onto used dryer sheets and I decided to use them on this project. It will make a
cute baby quilt or maybe a QOV depending on the size it becomes. Cute but
way too time consuming using my method. ( Bonnie K. Hunter has a better method
on her web site) You can see many scraps from my recent "Carolina Christmas" finish I made over the holidays plus many donated scraps from Debby.

Noel is 29 today! I made this "Little Quilt" ( by Mary Ellen Von Holt,
Sylvia Johnson and Alice Berg) for her when
she was 10 year old. I was so proud of myself, I pieced
and quilted it by hand, even adding little bows and buttons.
It is a 28.5 inch square.

I started this today since it looks like it will be a nice slow paced
quilt along. Its "Yours Truly round robin" done on the Carol Doak
paper piecing Yahoo group. A new round will be added by me when
Carol post the next installment and the first assignment was easy.....
start the center with any Carol Doak design block or blocks.
So far so good :0)
